Global

The National Law Review’s global coverage involves cases, news, and stories, from the US and around the world. News from the European Union relating to the GDPR and new legislation which will become effective, post-Brexit, renewable energy and natural resources being developed in China, and securities regulations in the US, which will impact other countries, are all topics which fall under the global-category.

The National Law Review features international legal news that impacts businesses and companies operating in the United States and trading partners around the world. The site focuses primarily on the United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Australia, and China. With this being said, prevalent news and stories coming from other countries and regions of the world, are also frequently covered on the National Law Review, with coverage increasing on a regular basis as our legal experts expand their reach.

Legal news, new statutes, relevant trade stories, litigation, and environmental issues, are some of the topics which are frequently covered in the National Law Review. Readers can read about biobased and renewable energy which is being used and developed around the world, foreign tax compliance and controversies under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FACTA), and how the TCJA impacts these developments and multinational companies that are going through restructuring and insolvency bankruptcy claims.

Visitors can also read about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), foreign sports news, Brexit updates, intellectual property and patent dispute claims, international trade, and foreign investments which are unfolding in the form of global merger and acquisition deals. Regardless of the news, stories, or litigation readers want to learn about, the National Law Review covers a broad range of global news stories as they unfold.
